Uninstalling the Software on Linux and Solaris Servers

You must remove the ZENworks Server Management software files from Linux or Solaris servers.

To remove the software files:

  1. On the Linux or Solaris server, stop all the Policy and Distribution Services daemons, as described in Starting and Stopping Server Management Services.

  2. Remove the ZFSTed package.

    • On Linux, use:

      rpm -e novell-zen-zfs

      rpm -e novell-zen-zws

    • On Solaris, use:

      pkgrm novell-zen-zfs

  3. Manually delete the zfs executable.

    rm /etc/init.d/novell-zfs

  4. Manually delete the /var/opt/novell/zenworks directory and any remaining content.

    rm -rf /var/opt/novell/zenworks

    This will remove all working files, including Distributions. You should have previously gathered this information in Step 3.a under Uninstalling the eDirectory Objects.

  5. Manually delete the /var/opt/novell/log/zenworks directory and any remaining log files.

    rm -rf /var/opt/novell/log/zenworks

  6. Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 for each Linux or Solaris server where Policy and Distribution Services was installed.

  7. To remove .cpk and .spk files for the Server Software Packages, locate those files, then delete them.
